SAFETY-POCKET FOR GARMENTS.

E'PECIFICAIION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,586, dated May 24,1887.

Application tiled March 31,1887. Serial No. 233,170. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM Bnnnowrrrz, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Safety-Pockets, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to improvements in safety-pockets, as set forthin the following specification and claim, and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a safety-pocket appliedto an apparel. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of a pair of jaws.Fig. 3 is a transverse central section of a safety-pocket applied to anapparel. Fig. 4; is a section of a jaw in the plane a: :0, Fig. 2.

Si milarletters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A designates the substance of the apparel,such as cloth.

In Fig. 3 a portion of the substance A is cut and the lips ofthe cut arerespectively clamped or secured to the jaws B O of a frame. The jaws 130 swing about a pivot or joint, D. A back, F, of cloth or othermaterial, suitably sewed or secured to the substance A,completes thepocket.

The jaw O is provided on its under side, at'

a suitable point between its ends, with a depending loop, E, throughwhich may be passed a watch-chain, and such insertion of the watchchainthrough said (lownwardly-projecting loop will prevent the watch frombeing surrept-itiously removed from the pocket without the wearersnotice. By making the depend ing or downwardly-project-ing loop E ofmetal the watch-chain is prevented from chafing the apparel. The entirejaw O is preferably made of one piece of metal, said piece being soformedas to provide an eye for thejaw.

For the purpose of securing the lips or edges of thematerial A to thejaws the latter are channeled along their undersides,so that when thelips or edges of the material comprising the pouch or pocket areinserted thereinto such lips or edges may be clamped in place. Thedepending loop E is also channeledto receive the lip or edge of thefabric comprising the pocket, as shown in Fig. 2.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A garment the pocket of which is provided with a frame consisting of thetwo jointed jaws, each having a channel along its under side, in whichare clamped the edges of the material comprising the pouch or pocket,and one of said jaws provided at its inner edge with the depending loopE, in which one edge of the material is also secured, substantially asand for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
